Murray spoke about owing his good fortunes to Hughton, and mentioned the struggles of what strikers face in the current market.

Speaking after the match on Sunday, he said: "I've got to thank him (Hughton) for giving me the opportunity to play at this level. You see with some of the Championship teams this year that they've got rid of some players and brought some big names in.

"He's given everyone that helped the club get to the Premier League an opportunity to play in the Premier League and most of us have taken that."

After being compared to Bournemouth with the way Hughton has used players that appeared for the club in the Championship, Murray said: "I think there's a lot of hype around the Premier League.

"There are players in the Championship that can play at this level comfortably but sometimes they never get the opportunity. Sometimes they get overlooked for maybe cheaper foreign players. Obviously we know that the English market is quite high to buy English players and that sometimes puts clubs off."

Murray will look to add to his goal against Manchester United with one at Anfield on Saturday, as Albion hope to put to bed the memories of the 4-0 defeat on the last day of the 2017/18 campaign.
